    Laken Hope Riley (22) found dead after going jogging on the University of Georgia campus

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/23/us/ug...ath/index.html


    The body of a woman found dead Thursday on the University of Georgia campus has been identified as 22-year-old Laken Hope Riley, the Athens-Clarke County coroner told CNN on Friday.

    The woman was an Augusta University College of Nursing student at its campus in Athens, the city that also is home to the University of Georgia, officials at the Augusta university said.

    Coroner Sonny Wilson said Riley?s cause and manner of death are pending an examination of the body, which is set to take place Friday.

    Authorities received a call around noon on Thursday from a person who was concerned after their friend went jogging at the university?s intramural fields and never returned, University of Georgia Police Chief Jeffrey L. Clark said Thursday evening.

    Investigators found the jogger?s body around 12:38 p.m. in an area behind a nearby lake, Clark said.

    Police said they suspect foul play was involved. But no suspect information or possible motive has been released.

    When he was asked whether there was any danger to the public following the death, the police chief said: ?When you have a suspect that?s on the loose, there?s always a danger. But there?s no immediate danger at this time.?

    Police found her unconscious and injured in a wooded area behind the fields around 12:30 p.m. She was pronounced dead at the scene and police have ruled her death a homicide.

    On Friday, Channel 2′s Michael Seiden reported live as police swarmed an apartment complex off S. Milledge Avenue.

    At the scene, university officials confirmed to Seiden that they have identified a person of interest; however, they did not release the person of interest’s name.

    The suspect in the Laken Riley murder trial waived his right to a jury trial and instead requested a trial by judge.

    The motion came during a pretrial hearing for Jose Ibarra on Tuesday. Jury selection had been scheduled to start on Wednesday.

    The judge granted the motion for a bench trial, which will begin Friday at 9 a.m.

    The monster has been found guilty.

    A judge found Jose Ibarra guilty of killing Laken Riley and a host of other charges after a highly emotional, four-day trial.

    In addition to malice murder and felony murder, Judge H. Patrick Haggard also found the 26-year-old guilty of kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, aggravated battery, obstructing a person making an emergency call, tampering with evidence and peeping Tom.

    In a heartbreaking moment during the hearing—which was streamed on Court TV—her stepfather John Phillips read Riley’s final journal entry aloud, dated December 2023, noting how her life “was abundantly and exceptionally full of promise.”

    “‘To my future husband,’” Phillips read. “‘As silly as I feel writing this, my old small group leader once recommended it so here I am. To my future husband, I want you to know that I'm thinking about you. I'm working every day to become the best wife I can be by working through my current relationships to best prepare me for our and our kids one day.’”

    And in addition to sharing her hopes that her future partner would share her Christian faith, Riley wrote, “I can't wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives I pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship no matter what challenges we face.”
